Which mechanism facilitates coral reef nutrient uptake when exposed to increased ocean acidity?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced denitrification reduces excess nitrogen inputs when ocean acidification stresses coral; this symbiotic denitrification process helps maintain nutrient balance, therefore reducing harmful algal blooms, rather than exacerbating them like other choices.
